Explosions in the Sky, The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place. This lot have clearly been listening to Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Mogwai quite a bit. Not bad, but pretty derivative. Next up, Night Recordings From Bali. Gamelan field recordings. Looks promising: http://www.sublimefrequencies.com/Night-Recordings-from-BALI.html -- Ian

To tell the truth, I've not listened to it much. Have you heard any of their stuff before? Very atMOspheric. At times quite MOody and dark, other times it's pure beauty! I've three of their albums and if you've not got any I'd recommend "Agaetis Byrjun" first. A truly great album IMO! The reason I've listened to this less isn't to do with not liking it, but just that if I'm in the MOod for a bit of Sigur Ros, I always reach for A B. ( ) has a similar sound and if you like A B you should like this too. MOre of the same. I need to listen to it MOre to get to know the tracks like those on A B. Not sure how much you know of them so don't want to tell you stuff you may already know.... They're Icelandic and sing (allegedly - i'm not fluent in icelandic MOself to know if this is true ) in a made up language known as "hopelandish" A sort of cross between Icelandic (?) and others. Guitars, strings, and a haunting wailing vocal. Sometimes it kicks in a bit and the the drums and build up and it rocks a bit. But the appeal - for me- is MOstly in the MOre sweet sounding tunes. Well worth a listen!
